Leap Year

Hoppy Leap Year! 29th February comes only once every 4 years, and 2020 is the next time that will happen. To celebrate we have a range of leap year printables which you can use in the classroom or home, all with a hoppy leap year theme!

Did You Know?

It takes the earth 365.24219 days to travel around the sun, and that's why we have an extra day nearly every 4 years.

In a tradition thought to date back to the 5th century, a woman may ask a man to marry her on leap days!

Just for fun, wish the kids a Hoppy Leap Year with our funny frog bookmarks! Print onto card, cut out carefully and laminate if you wish. We've left a little space on the front for your child's name, the year, or a message.

To help the frog hop across this pond, children need to work out which lily pads contain leap years and which don't. The rules for leap years in the Gregorian calendar are stated at the top of the worksheet.

We designed this lily pad number line, with numbers divisible by 4 highlighted in yellow, to be used with out frog number line markers, with Leap Year in mind - but of course if works well for 4 times tables practice too.
